Moonlight wins best picture Oscar

'La La Land' producer Jordan Horowitz shows the card reading Best Film 'Moonlight' next to US actor Warren Beatty after the latter mistakingly read 'La La Land' initially at the 89th Oscars on February 26, 2017, in Hollywood, California.

This would go down in Oscar history. The night’s biggest award for the Best Picture was handed to the wrong film, presumed frontrunner La La Land because presenters Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway were given the wrong envelope.

It bore the name of La La Land’s Emma Stone, who had won Best Actress moments before.

The three credited producers for La La Land were almost through their triumphant speeches-- indeed, the third, Fred Berger, was in the middle of speaking --when producer Jordan Horowitz was forced to take the microphone and say the film had lost to Moonlight. (AFP)

A stream of actresses including Rose McGowan, models and ex-employees came out, many anonymously, to accuse Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein of sexual harassment and abuse dating as far back as the 1990s.

In her speech, she said,“Thank you, Tarana Burke,” McGowan began, referring to the founder of the #MeToo campaign. “Thank you to all of you fabulous, strong, powerful Me Too’s. Because we are all Me Too’s … I have been silenced for 20 years. I have been slut-shamed. I have been harassed. I’ve been maligned. And you know what? I’m just like you. Because what happened to me behind the scenes, happens to all of us in this society. And that cannot stand.”

Ibtihaj Muhammad attends Glamour's 2017 Women of The Year Awards at Kings Theatre on November 13, 2017 in Brooklyn, New York.

Mattel unveiled its first hijab-wearing Barbie doll in November.

“Perfect hijab moment right here, this is amazing,” Muhammad said as she beheld the doll for the first time at the Glamour Women of the Year Summit, her likeness clad in a white fencing uniform and clutching a sword and helmet.

Muhammad said she played with Barbies until she was a teenager, but none of the dolls looked like her, so she resorted to sewing mini hijabs onto them. Now she is hoping the new doll inspires other girls “to embrace what makes them unique.” (AFP)
